TechnologyOne is one of the Australian software industry’s biggest success stories. Based in Brisbane, it has grown to be the nation’s largest enterprise software company and a top 50 ASX-listed company.

For over 38 years, the company has supported its customers in Australia and around the world with innovative enterprise software that incorporates emerging technologies, enabling customers to focus on transforming their businesses rather than on technology.

The company’s deeply integrated Software as a Service (SaaS) enterprise resource planning solution is used by 1,300 leading corporations, government agencies, local councils and universities, and is available on any device, anywhere and anytime.

In 2016, TechnologyOne established the TechnologyOne Foundation. The foundation is a multimillion-dollar annual commitment to support a range of Australian and international charities and community organisations dedicated to helping disadvantaged children and young people create their own pathways to success. This long-term initiative reflects the values, culture and aspirations TechnologyOne looks for in its employees.

The foundation is part of the Pledge 1% corporate philanthropy movement, which challenges individuals and companies to commit 1 per cent of their profit, product and time to their communities. As part of this initiative, TechnologyOne gives its team members 2.5 days leave per year (the equivalent of 1 per cent of their time) to spend volunteering. To fulfil the one per cent product component, the foundation donates one per cent of TechnologyOne’s new annual recurring revenue to its charity partners. It also donates one per cent of the company’s annual net profit after tax.

• In FY24, the foundation gave $1,034,497 back into the community through donations to 42 charitable causes, including its key charity partners.
• Committed $1,956,947 worth of TechnologyOne software product discounts to not-for-profit organisations
• Employees volunteered over 8,824 hours of time to the foundation’s partners and other communities.
• Additional $48,072 employee-generated fundraising

The high level of engagement from the company’s leadership and employees was key to the foundation’s success. This was complemented by the financial support from TechnologyOne for the foundation and its initiatives, particularly through the Pledge 1% promise, which clearly outlines charitable targets and a budget for funding.

TechnologyOne’s Foundation Champions – representatives from all business units and regions – ensure the foundation delivers on its strategy. Enabling employees to volunteer for a worthy cause in the community and offering a dollar-matching program for all donations and fundraising efforts have also contributed to the foundation’s overall success.

Since its foundation in 1987, TechnologyOne has set an agenda for change by supporting a range of charities and community organisations. The TechnologyOne Foundation establishes charitable giving as a core pillar of the company’s philosophy. It also reflects the values, culture and aspirations the company looks for in its current and future employees. TechnologyOne commits 1% of its profit, product, and employee time to social impact organisations with which it partners. Sustainability is also integrated across all operations, from responsible growth and ethical sourcing to governance frameworks that ensure long-term environmental and social responsibility as TechnologyOne expands globally.
